Friday 6 March 2009

Just a quick one for Friday's Ratings (Saturday's are not even worth discussing - only two shows over 1 million, the two big news bulletins).

Seven's decision to screen a movie up against Ten's Football broadcast paid off with the 3 hour movie winning it's timeslot giving Seven a clean sweep for the night with the top 5 programs and first in every timeslot.

Ten was forced into further fragmenting their audience with new eps of Medium and Law & Order skipped altogether in the southern markets, splitting your sked for AFL/Rugby League commitments makes sense when you can maximise your results - but when the end result is a washout like this - why even bother?
